Where to buy master brake cylinder for my '68?

I need a new/reproduction master brake cylinder for my '68 with a 440, automatic, front disc brakes.  I would like to stick to original if possible, so where can I find a high-quality one?  Are there reproduction ones out there?  I've thought about having my rebuilt, but mine has the two posts inward facing the motor and I'd rather have the ones where they face outward towards the fender.  Thanks!!

No comment on how long it will last, but my Autozone rebuilt one stops my '68 Charger fine. They gave me one that looked wrong at first, but then started opening boxes, and found one with correct the "bolt down" cover like the original.

Mine was for a drum brake car but I got it at Pep Boys for something like $11.99 including the core. The core charge was like $10.00 so the master cost me $1.99 or so.

I meant to go back and buy another for a spare but forgot, maybe I'll go down today.

My normal mechanic said that he could get me one made by Wagner for about $110.  Is Wagner any good?  Which are the good brand names?  Thanks!

I have had great luck with Wager master cylinders.I would also spend the extra money and get a new master cylinder. I wouldn't trust stopping my Charger with a 2 buck master cylinder!

I bought one of the Napa ones for my disc brake car in the summer.  It's working fine so far.  :icon_smile:
